21 Enzyme technology - Nuffield Foundation
Advanced applied science: GCE A2 UNITS. The Nuffield Foundation 2008. ACTIVITY BRIEF. Enzyme technology The science at work enzymes enzymes have become big business. They are used in many industrial processes to catalyse biological reactions. enzymes are exploited in a variety of manufacturing processes such as food processing and for the synthesis of medicines such as antibiotics like artificial penicillin. They are also used to clean up factory effluents and pollution in water and soil. Many processes can be made faster and cheaper by using the right Enzyme and conditions. Optimum conditions are maintained during factory production by use of bioreactors. These are vessels which are designed to provide the ideal environment for reactions involving enzymes or living organisms. Your brief Most people in the UK produce an Enzyme called lactase in their small intestine to break down lactose, the sugar found in milk.
